"V-locity has helped my environment. Our system was spiking the CPU very high and causing network issues and we had to kill the process to fix the issue. After installed Velocity the problem did not occur again. I see the V-Awareness function as the biggest benefit, and also the improved performance from running this new version. I like the fact that we no longer have to install anything on the ESX host, and the V-locity host user interface which monitors the environment."
“Every server we have implements RAID, typically RAID 1 for the OS and a RAID 5 for data. Before we enabled the Automatic defrag I would periodically log into each of our 25 servers and run defrag now and then. Each server had at least 2 drives, so it was time consuming because I’d have to log into each server, defrag the C:, then check back later and do D: when C: was done."
“Diskeeper performance technology is a revolutionary step forward in file system optimization. IntelliWrite minimizes fragmentation and disk maintenance is more effective than ever. Proactive fragmentation prevention constantly keeps our Windows 7 file systems optimized, making our applications more reliable and helping maintain the confidence and high degree of satisfaction of clients using our large scale, business-critical solutions. Diskeeper provides a stunning user interface, effortless installation and configuration, a highly efficient and reliable operation, and an outstanding value with unrivaled capabilities for maintaining optimal system performance. Don’t deploy an enterprise solution without it!”
“I consider Diskeeper to be a valuable tool and am very pleased with our deployment of it. We have Diskeeper Administrator running on our internal domain and use it to deploy and manage our Diskeeper clients. We have defrag policies set up and use them to keep production running. I personally like the ease of use the Admin Console gives me to manage and deploy new installs on our network. With just a few clicks I can edit defrag policies to fit our production needs as we bring up different workloads and shifts. Before we just used the built-in defrag tool in Windows to defrag servers and PCs. By using Diskeeper and the Admin Console, I can automate all of that and know that it is being done. Each morning I have scheduled reports which run to inform us of the current fragmentation levels and performance indicators. I also have it set up to email when a new upgrade is ready and can see all the machines it is installed on and what version they are running. This makes my task of managing these systems so much easier for me and my co-workers.”
"Our doctors and clinicians were losing too much time on basic tasks like waiting on medical images to load, or scanning images, or even just navigating from screen to screen within the application. The easy answer is to buy new server and storage hardware; however, that’s also a very expensive answer. When you’re a small hospital, you need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your existing infrastructure. Since we don’t have the budget luxury of doing hardware refreshes every three years, we need to get at least five years or more from our storage backend."
“I am glad to give references for Diskeeper. We have been using Diskeeper Server for years. I used to receive frequent alerts on server drive fragmentation. After installing your Diskeeper, I have yet to see an alert and have noticed no impact on overall system performance. We are running a few Oracle 9i databases at our site. We have 5 Cybernetics DAS RAID 5 arrays, 1 Lefthand Network iSCSI SAN, a Dell EMC / AX100i iSCSI SAN, and an EMC CX-310 fibrechannel SAN at our site. We also have a Dot Hill fibrechannel SAN for email archiving. We have multiple Lotus Notes production and failover servers and use VMware ESX on 4 host servers running this software."
“I love using Diskeeper on our Backup Exec Server; this is the real success story. It can have 10 jobs that write to 50 GB files all at the same time. This fragments the heck out of our 13 TB drive tower. The Windows defrag wouldn’t keep up or even finish. I was always reaching 99% fragmentation on this drive, causing my backups to go all the way from Friday to Wednesday of the following week. When I contacted the backup solution company about the severe fragmentation they suggested only running one job at a time. This was just unacceptable as the jobs would not complete in the allotted time window."
“I thought you may like to know that V-Locity saved me yesterday! I was trying to correct a VMFS storage space issue after I was advised by my VM backup vendor to run sDelete on all the server drives to improve performance. As it turns out, VMware does not recognize this zeroed disk space as ‘free’ but as ‘used’ which filled up my datastores! This resulted in some of servers going into stand by and after a lot of research, there did not seem to be any quick solution."
“Diskeeper makes our work easier plus the background Automatic defrag and scheduled defrags are the 'Bomb'. Our systems were slow prior to installing Diskeeper. Very Important: I use Diskeeper routinely to schedule off-hour CheckDisk maintenance & reboots. This feature alone makes Diskeeper a highly valuable Network/Server tool with our Left Hand SAN. For example, monthly Microsoft updates require reboots after installations so I do this using Diskeeper Boot Time Defrag. This is for all our school & admin servers.”
"We are a large school with nearly one terabyte of data accessed daily, and one-third of that is revised or newly-created. As a network admin, access times and increased throughput are critical to my day-to-day. When my users say, ‘the network seems to be working better,’ I know V-locity is really doing the job.”
“The Diskeeper EnterpriseServer performs very well on our servers, keeping the file systems in great shape. All of our Diskeeper servers use Pillar Data Systems SAN disk except for one. Most of our Windows servers run as virtual machines under VMware ESX. On our production servers Diskeeper does a great job. For example, Diskeeper running full time on our main email server which is Domino Lotus Notes keeps the file systems defragmented and running optimally.”
“Diskeeper with Instant Defrag is great. We have had no problems at all. We have a few terabytes of information. Before Diskeeper, it would take eons to back up a couple hundred gig including verification. This would affect some operations. Now the backup happens in a handful of hours and our employees can work as scheduled. Network speed is always fast and consistently that way.”
“Undelete has worked very well for us. We had been discovering that data was being deleted months prior before we realized it was gone. The backup tapes write over each week and also each quarter so we lost the data. Each morning I review and cross reference our backup with the Undelete data. If I find a large amount of data is added to Undelete, I do a query. A few times I found that information files were inappropriately deleted and we were able to save the files.”
“V-locity is a very valuable tool. I noticed improvement in response time working remotely on a VMware View desktop that was optimized using V-locity. I most enjoy maintaining the defragmented status of our virtual machines so as to decrease access times on machines with many guests running simultaneously. V-locity immediately went to work after installing it on our guest systems. Without touching the product, other than to view a ‘before’ image of the disk utilization, file access times and boot processes were improved within 24 hours and the changes were noticeable to end-users."
"I use the Automatic defrag so use of Diskeeper is very easy. We are seeing very good results and the files are more efficiently organized on the disks than before. We use Diskeeper in a data warehouse environment. It means that every night we delete a lot of datasets and we re-created a lot of new datasets. The disks were always very fragmented. With the Windows defrag tool it was not possible to defragment the disks in a fast way. The programs that use this data warehouse require fast disk access. That's why a well-organized disk is important for us. With Diskeeper we can reorganize the disk quickly and keep it well organized.”
